This one hurts. I think people forget how huge BF was at the time, and it gets unfairly lumped in with B&R. I was discovering the character as a young kid and seeing Forever on the big screen cemented my fandom. As it stands BF is a good Batman movie - with all the deleted scenes reinstated and the original sequencing I think it’s a great one. ---

A great loss indeed. I was always a big fan of him. An underrated actor for sure, The Doors, The Saint, Batman Forever, Top Gun, Heat, etc. I must have seen The Saint and Batman Forever countless times growing up. Two criminally underrated pictures. May he rest in peace wherever he is. ---

> [@Dustin](#): > > Very sorry to hear it, he literally shaped the image of an entire genre. Completely. I honestly think without that marketing the series would be in a different place. Even if modern work is lacklustre we’ll always have the foundation of Robert McGinnis. His posters are works of art and I never get sick of seeing them, communicating adventure and excitement. ---

As an aspiring illustrator/comic book artist for most of my young life, Robert McGinnis was one of my idols. His James Bond movie posters did indeed influence an entire genre of film, but he did the same thing with the genre of private investigator/mystery fiction as well. An amazingly talented and inspirational figure for his entire career. ---

> [@sharpshooter](#): > > I never get sick of seeing them Since you asked… ![image](https://uploads-quarterdeck-commanderbond-net.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/a/af3c3b28ab367da707610c732babe2852825fbc8.jpeg) I love how the poster references select elements of the movie, as well as planned elements that were never filmed. The helicopters also lend an unintended APOCALYPSE NOW vibe. The whole poster feels very “Las Vegas-y.” I always thought that Bond and the ladies were standing in some kind of horseshoe (casino-ish), until someone here taught me that it was the extended claw arm of the moon buggy. This is the last short-barrelled gun. The barrel lengthens significantly in LIVE AND LET DIE (another beautiful poster). Finally, the repetition of “Forever” is a visual echo of the theme song–beautifully tying many aspects together. I love the window card variant as well: ![image](https://uploads-quarterdeck-commanderbond-net.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/2X/4/47a03595adae7f0495c3da69d6edc6787f1b973f.jpeg) ---
